Joe - they saw you coming!!! Look, from now on, whenever you make a computer
purchase, let us all know...we can avoid the lemons <grin>

I've been buying a Mac every 2 years since 1989 (notebook and desktop) and
none of them have been a worst Mac. Then again, except for the Tangerine
iBook, every Mac I've bought has been end of lifed so I've always known if
the model was a loser or not.

BTW - with one exception EVERY Mac I've bought is still in service. The
single exception is a PowerBook 140 that was fatally injured in a car wreck.
The amazing thing is that this computer-LCD half broken and case spit open
on the bottom-worked well enough that I was able to remove data via the
floppy before handing it over to my insurance agent.
